PCN challenge: any advice please?
Discussion
I received an auto-response 3 weeks ago (27/05/2012) but have yet to receive a reply from the staff, I wonder what other peoples' experiences are with respect to timescale and whether it's worth chasing them?
For the record I was parked legally on previously overpainted double yellows, the paint has mostly worn off and I'm not the only one to have received a ticket (my neighbour didn't challenge hers) though there are always vehicles parked there. The new terminator is clearly further ahead of my front bumper, I also have high resolution photos if anyone wants to see them
(may also be worth sending those to the office?)
Thanks in advance

Nope, I said overpainted yellow lines. Some of the paint has worn off revealing the lines underneath, however due to the new terminator having been added when this was done I am of the opinion that the lines no longer conform.
This is one of four sections in this part of the street which are all in a similar condition. In any case last time I challenged one I had a reply within days.

Update:
Apologies for the delay, I'm still pursuing this. They did not reply to my emails although I did find a couple of letters in the junk mail recycling box when I went through it, so I had quite a lengthy and helpful conversation with a member of staff at the office. I need to consider whether to take this to court.
This is a photo of the lines which were previously overpainted, I was parked behind the new terminator but on the old section.
I will supply photos of the other sections which provide much clearer proof of the re-marking scheme.

Yes they do but they are not to spec now, unless they've changed the rules since the cases I saw reported in a TV programme a few years back? .. Or this is at least what I hoped 
I assumed the new terminator and evidence of overpainting would be enough.
Looks like I'll have to take this on the chin
